Super Bowl XLVI is THIS coming Sunday February 5, 2012 at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. This year the New England Patriots and the New York Giants will battle it out to become the next National Football League (NFL) champions of the 2011 season. Who will you be rooting for?!
This is the 42nd annual championship game of the “modern-era” NFL and the kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. EST (for you fellow mountain folk this will be 4:30 p.m.). If you look at the history of Super Bowls, you will see that these two teams played each other in the 2008 Super Bowl in a close game where the Giants beat the Patriots 17 to 14. But this is a new year, and the first time the Super Bowl has been played in Indianapolis. Who knows what will happen!
If you’re the betting type, you’ve probably looked into just that, maybe these odds will help you out! If you’re wanting to take a shot at betting but don’t know where to start, we personally recommend that you take the Giants +3.5 because their receiving corps will torch the Patriots’ secondary all day.
Both teams have had an interesting season, and though there may not have been one major turning point for either, it’s more about the whole season coming together and leading up to this exciting culminating event.
As much as we love the game itself, the Super Bowl isn’t just about football. In the United States it has come to be something of a holiday, and this year it’s expected to be the biggest spending holiday of them all! Between snacks, fan paraphernalia, and overall party apparel, consumers are expected to spend around $11 billion on the Super Bowl this year. Some party! Here are some excellent, mouth-watering snack ideas to serve at your Super Bowl party.
Now don’t think we forgot…one of the biggest aspects of the Super Bowl….the commercials! Every year the price to advertise has increased, and this year on average the network sold 30-second ad spots for a whopping $3.5 million each. No wonder the commercials have to be so good! If you really can’t wait to see what commercials will air (or you’re afraid that you’ll miss them), guess what?! You can catch a sneak peek of them here! One of our favorites is an Acura ad where the soup nazi from Seinfeld returns, check it out!
So whether you are a die-hard football fan, watching for the commercials, or just in it for the party, it doesn’t matter…join in on the Super Bowl frenzy!
